Got a new Gorenje gas hob, and the installation instructions say it needs to be permanently wired into the mains, behind a double pole isolator. Now, if that's what it says, I guess that's what I'll have to do - but why???? It only needs the power for the piezo lighters. My previous hob was...

In an ideal world yes but there isn't room for that in this small kitchen. 18 cm clearance to the side is plenty to allow for overhanging pots and handles, and I've chosen a hob which has the fast burner on the right hand side of a diamond layout, so any fast cooking will be taking place on the...

My new kitchen design looks like this: As you can see, there is a tall larder unit close to the left of the gas hob. In the design above, the distance is 170mm from the left of the hob to the larder unit. The hob installation instructions state that the minimum distance should be 150mm, so it...

The best I can find at the moment is this Gorenje: http://ao.com/product/gw65clb-gorenje-classico-collection-gas-hob-black-40080-41.aspx Ok, it's a diamond shape, but it looks like the clever layout of the pan supports makes it a lot more practical than the Zanussi, and has a more powerful...

Thanks for replying. Again, these are right-rear, rather than right-front. There are plenty of hobs available with fast burners of the right rear, but I'm looking for one with the fast burner right front.

Hi all As part of my kitchen rebuild, I am replacing my gas hob. In order to mitigate the proximity of the hob to the fridge freezer cabinet to its left, I want a hob which has the fast burner on the RHS of the hob. I've found plenty with the fast burner at the back on the right, and this...

I don't see a problem. The area behind the hob would be protected. In fact, for the last 12 years the wall has been emulsion painted plaster, with no issues. Just wipe it clean every so often as you would do with tiles.

The paneling would cover a 3m long wall, from worktop height to ceiling (1.5m). The glass would only cover a small area behind the cooker to protect the wood from heat.

I'd go for 9mm panels. 6mm is a bit flimsy/lightweight for my tastes. I'd also use plywood for the panels, but that's just a personal disliking for working with MDF.

Am rebuilding my kitchen and am considering options for the splashback/wall behind the main run of units - a 630mm deep worktop which includes the hob. One of the options I'm thinking about is painted wood paneling. Would this be ok if I were to attach a clear glass splashback on top of paneling...
